The tour begins in the afternoon on Christmas Eve with a pick-up and drive to the Mount of Olives, just outside the Old City walls. From this vantage point, you'll enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem. You’ll pass the Church of All Nations and the Garden of Gethsemane as you head toward the Old City entrance. Once inside, visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site of Jesus' crucifixion.
After exploring the church, your journey continues to Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus. Passing through a checkpoint, you'll find the city adorned with festive lights and decorations. Manger Square is the focal point of the evening's celebrations. Join fellow Christians singing carols by the large Christmas tree and enjoy a festive Christmas dinner.
